A few years ago, I partnered with a company to create the first of many pilates ring workouts. Since then, I’ve made a lot more! I love using the ring: it’s a versatile tool that can be used to add a challenge to an exercise or, in some cases, make an exercise more accessible.
Here are a few of the pilates ring workouts I’ve posted. You can find these, and many others, on my YouTube channel.
Pilates Ring Workouts
This is the first pilates ring workout I designed with the Go Sport-It pilates ring, which is no longer available for purchase. (But don’t worry, there are plenty of pilates rings out there.)
It’s a 33-minute total-body workout inspired by yoga and pilates, and it includes a warm-up and a cool-down with stretching.
Beginner Basic
This workout includes the 10 exercises found on the Go Sport-It pilates ring workout guide for beginners. We use the ring and a resistance band. It’s about 25 minutes long and includes a warm-up and cool-down.
Beginner Plus
This 48-minute workout incorporates the 10 exercises we did in the Beginner Basic workout, as well as additional exercises to increase the challenge and duration of the workout using the ring and a resistance band. Includes a warm-up and cool-down stretch.
Advanced Basic
This workout is about 27 minutes long, and it includes the 10 exercises found on the Go Sport-It pilates ring workout guide for advanced users. The exercises are more challenging variations of the ones we do in the Beginner Basic workout. Includes a warm-up and cool-down stretch.
Advanced Plus
This workout is about 39 minutes long, and it includes the 10 exercises we did in the Advanced Basic workout along with some new exercises to increase the challenge and duration of your workout session. You’ll need a pilates ring and a resistance band.
Pilates Ring Leg Workout
This is a lower body focused 20-minute workout. It includes a warm-up and cool-down stretch.
Quick Core
In less than 20 minutes, we warm-up, work our cores, and stretch — a great stand-alone workout when you’re short on time, or add it to the end of your regularly scheduled cardio or strength workout.
Yoga with the Ring
This class flows like a yoga class, so you can do it even if you don’t have a ring (or if you want to set the ring down for awhile). The ring gives us some extra challenge and means of focusing. Enjoy!
